Soup Time! (mre style)

Well as winter comes and so does my favorite food. Soup!

But soups are the easiest MRE's to make ........
You can make them in a jars; you can make them in mylar...You can keep them in your car, so you can bug out real real far. You can wrap them in a bow and give to people you know. You can keep them for many years to help lessen the worst of prepper's fears. Ok I am no poet that's for sure...

Ok, first thing canning fresh soup is great, but dehydrated soup makes for light weight travel and less storage space. And for those of you who have not yet canned meat you can buy so many canned kinds at the store Click Here to the the variety. You can go to The Ready Store and order freeze dry meat to add to these mixes. I bring this up because bean are a great protein sub.but many call for meat. I find the little cans of chicken meat (tyson and bumble bee make them) work great for a fast cheap soup.

Pasta Soup Mix in a Jar or bag

Now you can skip the mushrooms or the lentils and add replace with peas or a bean if you prefer. Or by pass any of them and add what ever you want.

Place soup mix ingredients in jar in this order: Add rice to the jar
first. Add the seasoning packet into jar. Fill jar with tortilla
chips. Add the lid to the jar.

Remove tortilla chips and seasoning packet from the jar into
a dish and set aside.

Label:
In a 1-gallon soup pot, add the rice and 10 cups of water. Add
the can of diced tomatoes and green chiles, the can of chicken,
and the seasoning packet from the jar. Bring to a boil; lower
the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
